About this eBook

Author Schippers, W., 1867-1954
Title Het Uilennest
Credits Produced by R.G.P.M. van Giesen
Summary "Het Uilennest" by W. Schippers is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rural Dutch setting, primarily focusing on the life of Hannes Klinge, a hardworking young man, and his tumultuous relationship with Martha van Gulven, the daughter of a wealthy farmer. Central to the narrative is the clash between Hannes's modest background and the oppressive wealth of Martha’s father, resulting in a highly engaging exploration of class struggles and personal convictions." "The opening of the novel introduces us to the wealthy farmstead "Zorgwijk," home to farmer Barend van Gulven and his daughter Martha, who is resisting her father's plans for her to marry the arrogant, wealthy suitor Gerrit Dubbe. Despite her father's authoritative demeanor, Martha is resolute in her disinterest and instead becomes increasingly drawn to Hannes Klinge, a laborer on her father's farm. A confrontation ignites between Hannes and Gerrit over Martha, leading to a physical altercation that sets the stage for further conflict. Martha's determination to defy her father's expectations for the sake of love and her longing for autonomy becomes central to the narrative, indicating the book's exploration of romance against the backdrop of social class."
